MASTER CLASS
Les’ master class is an opportunity for students, from beginning practitioner to intermediate/advanced students and teachers, to drop in, dive in and go deeper into exploring everything that is possible with your practice. In these classes we will chant, practice pranayama and play. The asana practice is mindfully sequenced so that the basics are covered for newer students and the seasoned practitioner can play on their edges and have many variations and up-levels to practice throughout the class. One of Les’ many gifts is reading the energy of the room and knowing when it’s safe to go deeper, back off or just be still for a few extra breaths. Les teaches his master classes many Friday evenings as an opening to a weekend of workshops so that students not familiar with his playful teaching style, will have a chance to begin their transformation. Les teaches in such a way that you will have an opportunity to play and sweat and dance and laugh with the teachers of joy and challenge and love and confusion all the while seeking a sweet surrender into savasana. “I hope you have an opportunity to come experience the opportunity to track subtle shifts or extraordinary transformation.”

DETOX FLOW – a Vinyasa Hips & Twists for All Levels
It’s time to liberate your hips and free your spine. Opening the hips begins by cultivating awareness of the challenges we hold in our hips and pelvic region. We can begin to relax and strengthen the quads, the inner and outer muscles of the thighs and stretch the hamstrings. While unlocking this area of our bodies we will also free the spine with twists which can infuse the body with vitality and well being and release enormous amounts of tension. Twists are associated with toning and rejuvenating the abdominal and pelvic regions. When these regions are engaged, blood flow naturally increases and toxins are released – a natural internal massage. Relaxing and strengthening these areas releases lower back tension and frees limitation in the neck and shoulders. This very fun workshop is great for beginners, intermediate/advanced practitioners and teachers who want to learn how to up level in creative ways and also provide a safe foundation for their beginning students.

FACING & EMBRACING FEAR – Arm Balancing and Inversions for All Levels
Arm Balances and Inversions can be some of yoga’s most challenging yet fun poses to practice. Learn to safely defy gravity, starting with a single breath. In this workshop you will strengthen your core to better support your arm balances. Build upper body strength which will help support and build healthier wrists, elbows and shoulders. Engage the legs, so they don’t take refuge in Savasana. Begin cultivating awareness of your body being upside down and moving through space, while surfing from one pose to another. Yoga should be satisfying and fun, not a chore. This workshop will launch you there. This very fun workshop is accessible for beginners, intermediate/advanced practitioners and teachers who want to learn how to teach newer students the foundations and set up of arm balancing and provide safe up leveling for the advanced practitioner. Flying is like a great fire of courage – once that flame is ignited – it never goes out.

ANAHATA CHAKRA VINYASA
Heart Openers (and backbends) are some of yoga’s most exhilarating postures. In this workshop we will open the entire front body, with emphasis on the heart center. We will flow through a sequence of postures that will bring your heart chakra back into balance and harmony. We will explore many different ways of working with and without props, along with physical, psychological and spiritual aspects of a backbend. Your heart will dance through the fine art of balancing and effortless surrender. We will also bring more awareness to pranayama and ujjayi breathing in this workshop, as the lungs are an integral part of this area of the body.

HANDS ON ADJUSTMENTS / TEACHER’S SESSION
In this workshop, we will practice safe and effective hands-on adjustments. We will discuss the nature of adjusting and the quality of the energies that are shared between the teacher/assistant and practitioner and how to approach an adjustment and how to release and step out and also to witness if what we have offered has helped the student. We will practice assists from many different pose groups – standing sequence poses – warriors, lunges, balancing poses, inversions, backbends, twists, forward folds – time for questions and of course savasana adjustments.
